The Elements:

Valentino S/S 2013 collection is all about keeping its aesthetic as a luxury brand. With the combination of sporty trend and luxe wear, Valentino delivered to its clients a modern and matured men dressing. Contrasting color and camouflage print are dominant in the runway. No ties were seen unlike from the previous collection according to style.com who had an interview with the duo designer. Mixing of different materials were define by the big proportions of the clothing which give more space and free movement.

The Materials:

Bomber jacket – From the Valentino collection, jacket is almost seen in every set of outfit, contrast in color, mixed materials and even in camo print.
